Bears Bites: Nelson, Bylsma, Lapierre, Haman-Akell react to Calder Cup Finals

Game 1 of the Calder Cup Finals between Hershey and Coachella Valley is in the books.
Below both coaches and players from the Bears react as the Firebirds jump out to a 1-0 series lead with a 4-3 victory.

Coachella, well rested, pretty much controlled most of the flow in this game as they rebounded from an early mistake that lead to Hershey having a 1-0 lead in the first.

The Firebirds took a 4-2 lead into the final period. While the Bears had opportunities early on with multiple power plays they could not convert. A late push with a 6 on 4 opportunity allowed Hershey to add a tally to make it 4-3 and very interesting close to this game.
